Accessibility: Unlocking Our Potential

[John Locke]

*The t-shirts are in and they look great! It’s not too late to get yours.*

The next 17 individuals who email a copy of their Deque University
certificate of completion to jlock004 at plattsburgh.edu will receive a
custom-designed Accessibility: Unlocking Our Potential t-shirt. The
completion certificate must be for one of the following full curricula:

   - Customer Service for People with Disabilities 1.0
   - Accessibility Program Management Curriculum 2.0
   - One of the other eight available curricula.

Please don't delay. We have a limited number of T-shirts available, and we
lose access to these valuable Deque courses on August 16, 2022. First come,
first-served.

*View an Accessibility Webinar*
In this week’s installment, I invite you to view a 20-minute recording
<https://youtu.be/glYnRwYfT-0>of a presentation I gave to faculty in our
School of Business and Economics (SBE). While it was developed specifically
for faculty, this presentation contains important information that is
relevant to staff as well.

The presentation discusses our commitment to making SUNY Plattsburgh
compliant with relevant accessibility laws, our current status, resources
and services available, and the challenges we face.

The EIT committee would like to thank SBE Dean Neureuther and Dr. Kameliia
Petrova for organizing the event. We would also like to extend the offer to
other departments and programs— academic as well as professional—
throughout campus to meet live or virtually. We will work to create a
presentation targeted to each group’s particular considerations and
challenges with respect to ADA compliance and  accessibility in general.
